You needed the low tire pressure light to tell you,  your tire had a gash in it??


It came on while i was stopped at a stop sign. As soon as i started rolling again it was pretty obvious.

How are you getting these "gashes" in the side wall? You got a pissed off ex?


idk, no exes up here though

Are they low profile tires? We all heard about the ice storms Atlanta had, how bad are the roads? Potholes I'm wondering...

I live an hour or so north of atlanta now, but I drive through all the time. The major highways arent bad at all.

I can only think of three causes.

#1 shitty tires. What kind of tire are you using? Does the tire fail always on the same rim? Are all the failing tires the same brand?
#2 the roads. If low profile and you hit a pothole or whatever had an edge it can cause sidewall damage.
example below: on bikes they can get whats known as a "snake bite" tire leak when they hit something and pinch the rubber tube against the rim.

#3 driver error. Is it always your right side tire? Quit running into the curb.

The first tire I had to replace had a 5" long 3/16" bolt go through it. This one was the only sidewall issue.
No curbs, roads arent too bad, and the tires are fairly decent. idk what happened
